With the support of EEA Grants, crime scene investigations in Latvia will become more effective

Mr. Viktors Semjonovs, a representative from the State Police of Latvia, informs that with the support of the EEA Grants, eight vehicles for the experts of the Forensics Department have been purchased to ensure more effective work at crime scenes. Mr. Viktors Semjonovs further informs that with the support of the EEA Grants, nearly all of Latvia’s forensic experts were trained and gained additional qualifications in various fields.

The project “Strengthening of the capacity of forensic system and inspection of the site of the event” was implemented within the framework of the 2014-2021 EEA Grants Programme “International Police Cooperation and Combating Crime”, operated in Latvia by the Ministry of the Interior.

EEA Grants are Iceland’s, Liechtenstein’s and Norway’s contribution to a greener, more secure, more competitive and inclusive Europe. Latvia is one of the 15 EU countries in Central Europe, Southern Europe and the Baltics that benefits from this support Programme. The aim of the EEA Grants is to reduce economic and social disparities in Europe and to strengthen bilateral relations between Donor States and beneficiary countries.

Working together for a secure and competitive Europe!
